Chapter 206 Relying on the Blessing of Divine Beasts, Bravely Venturing into the Apocalypse 40
This time, the Spider Queen also witnessed the interaction between the Divine Beast and Qiu Tong, and her idea coincided with that of the Scorpion Queen.
However, the Scorpion Queen did not see the interaction between the divine beasts and Qiu Tong, so she could only search for all the humans within the insect army's line of sight.
While the two queen insects were eyeing Shaanxi Province with predatory intent, Qiu Tong and her group had already composed themselves and headed back towards the warehouse.
Quan Hongfang and Dazhuang also followed them. If they wasted any more time looking for Yu Fang and the others, the supplies might be stolen by Qiu Tong and her group.
After observing along the way, Quan Hongfang felt that Qiu Tong's group was more reliable than Yu Fang. At least in actual combat, the strength shown by Li Mengran and Yun An impressed Quan Hongfang.
Not only are her attacks swift, ruthless, and accurate, but she also coordinates well with her teammates, a stark contrast to Yu Fang's disorganized team.
There were two things that concerned Quan Hongfang greatly. One was the strange beast that used to surround Yu Fang in her previous life, which she hadn't seen since their reunion in this life.
Even when the situation was so critical just now, Yu Fang didn't summon them to protect her. Quan Hongfang suspected that Yu Fang obtained those four strange beasts in her previous life, not shortly after the apocalypse.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of Yu Fang, Yu Fang would definitely summon them to protect herself when a crisis occurs.
Another thing that Quan Hongfang couldn't understand was why, since Yu Fang was also a reborn person, she didn't subdue those four strange beasts before the apocalypse came.
Doesn't she have memories of her past life? Wouldn't it be easy for her to find those four strange beasts?
While the entire Red team was thinking, they had already arrived at the warehouse area.
It's worth noting that Qiu Tong is different from Quan Hongfang and Yu Fang; there's a time difference between when she appeared in this world and when the other two were reborn.
Yu Fang and Quan Hongfang were reborn earlier than her, but only by a few hours. However, those few hours were enough for these reborn individuals to do a lot of things.
That's why the entire Red team wondered why Yu Fang didn't find those four strange beasts before the apocalypse.
Qiu Tong has the memories of the original owner's previous life, so she knows where the supplies are hidden without Yu Fang leading the way.
On the way, Sun Jiayi mustered up his courage and spoke to Qiu Tong, "Hey, Mo Feihan, I sincerely apologize for offending you before."
Qiu Tong looked completely bewildered, not understanding what Sun Jiayi meant by "offense."
Although Qiu Tong felt that Sun Jiayi was a bit self-centered and impolite after she saved him last time, she did not think that he had done anything to offend her.
Seeing Qiu Tong's puzzled expression, Sun Jiayi reminded her, "It was the time I forced you to find supplies for Yu Fang. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that what I did was inappropriate. You don't owe Yu Fang anything, so why should you help her collect supplies?"
"That's it? If you're talking about this, then you don't need to worry about it. I've never taken it to heart," Qiu Tong said calmly.
Sun Jiayi was surprised that Qiu Tong was so magnanimous that she didn't mind him saying some brainless things when he stood up for Yu Fang.
Now that she said that, he felt even more ashamed.
Han Dong interjected at the right moment, helping his third young master out of an awkward situation.
"Since Miss Mo is so magnanimous, let's not bring this up again. Third Young Master, why bring this up at a time like this?"
"Miss Mo, how did you know the way to the warehouse? I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
Qiu Tong was surprised that Han Dong was so perceptive; he discovered the problem so quickly, even before others had realized it.
Qiu Tong calmly delivered the prepared statement, "I've been here before and know where the warehouse area is, but I don't know which warehouse Yu Fang is referring to that has supplies."
This explanation was flawless, and everyone accepted it. Han Dong didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone says they don't know which warehouse the supplies are hidden in, so what else can he ask?
Looking at the rows of warehouses in front of them, no one dared to make any rash moves.
Opening any warehouse at random may alert nearby mutated animals or insectoids.
The warehouse's sliding iron door makes a loud noise when pushed open, which will definitely attract the attention of any mutated animals that are sensitive to sound.
Fortunately, the wind wasn't blowing into the warehouse at that moment, so the mutated animals didn't smell their large group of people so quickly.
However, things are hard to say once you enter the warehouse area. The mutated animals have an unusual sense of smell, much more acute than the Zerg.
Once the mutated animals smell them and pinpoint their location, they will have no choice but to fight them to the death.
Everyone here is smart. Based on their understanding of Yu Fang, they know she wouldn't be so selfless as to give away such a good resource.
Moreover, one can guess from Yu Fang's words that she brought them along to search for supplies.
She suspected there were some troublesome mutated animals here, and she wanted them to distract those animals so she could easily move the supplies.
The guesses everyone made were not far from Yu Fang's true purpose. However, Yu Fang was ruthless. She not only wanted them to restrain the mutated animals, but she also wanted them to die in the beasts' mouths.
Although Qiu Tong couldn't tell them directly where the warehouse containing the supplies was, she could guide them in that direction.
"We don't necessarily have to open the warehouse door to see if there are any supplies inside."
I remember that every warehouse had ventilation openings, and some warehouses even had warehouses not only above ground but also hidden underground.
The ventilation openings of the underground warehouse are all on the ground. If I were to hide supplies, I would definitely choose to hide them in a secluded underground warehouse.
We just need to find the ventilation openings on the ground near the warehouse, enter the warehouse through the ventilation openings, and we will find the warehouse where the supplies are stored.
Based on my understanding of Yu Fang, if the supplies were hidden on the surface, she wouldn't have bothered to gather so many people to collect them. Nine times out of ten, the warehouse containing the supplies is underground. Qiu Tong's analysis was reasonable, and everyone thought it was worth a try.
So everyone split into two groups to search for any hidden underground warehouses around the warehouse.
In the end, only two places were found with hidden underground warehouses. The original plan was to split up and climb in through the ventilation shafts to search.
But Qiu Tong refused, suggesting, "If Yu Fang is so worried, there must be something dangerous hidden in the warehouse. Splitting up could easily lead to our total annihilation."
Just to be on the safe side, let's work together and search the warehouses one by one. There are only two hidden warehouses, so it won't take much time.
Everyone agreed with Qiu Tong's point and accepted her opinion.
With Qiu Tong's deliberate guidance, she led them to the warehouse where the supplies were actually stored, saving them a lot of trouble.
Qiu Tong took out a hooked iron rod from her backpack, inserted the hook into the frame of the vent, and used leverage to pry open the iron frame covering the vent.
Her movements were fluid and efficient, as if she had done it countless times before. Everyone could only stare in disbelief as Qiu Tong removed the iron frame from the ventilation vent in just a moment.
She was the first to climb in through the ventilation shaft, followed by Li Mengran and Yun An, and then Li Mengran and the other team members.
Quan Hongfang and Dazhuang also climbed in, and finally Chu Qinquan and Sun Jiayi's team.
Seeing Qiu Tong crawling forward quietly at the front, the people following behind did the same, not daring to make the slightest noise, for fear of attracting the enemies nearby who threatened their lives.
Based on Qiu Tong's analysis, everyone felt that there might be dangerous creatures hiding nearby or in the warehouse.
With Qiu Tong leading the way, they quickly arrived at the underground warehouse. Looking through the ventilation shaft, it was pitch black inside.
By the time they climbed up the ventilation shaft, everyone had adapted to the darkness, so they could vaguely make out the outlines of anything outside the shaft.
Judging from the shadows cast by the stacked boxes, one could roughly guess that this was the warehouse where the supplies were stored.
Qiu Tong quickly got to work, removing the iron frame from the vent in the same way, then carefully climbing down the vent and standing on the stacked large boxes.
Before standing on it, he held onto the sides of the vent with both hands and tentatively stood on the box to see if it was stable.
If it were an empty box, she might fall in.
The height between the vent and the ground meant that falling from it would definitely hurt. She wasn't stupid; for the sake of her backside, she would definitely check whether the box was stable and whether she could stand on it.
Fortunately, the boxes were solid, so she felt relieved and let go of the vents, moving to a lower box to make room for the people behind her.
Finally, jump from a box of suitable height to the ground.
Before everyone came down from the ventilation shaft, Qiu Tong took out a powerful flashlight from her spatial storage. It was so powerful that once it was turned on, the entire warehouse could be seen clearly.
With the bright lights shining, everyone easily climbed down from the ventilation opening, stood on the boxes, and then followed Qiu Tong's route to the ground.
Qiu Tong, who was the first to come down, opened one of the cardboard boxes. After seeing the supplies inside, she waved to the people who came down next to her to come and take a look.
Upon seeing the bags of sugar inside the box, everyone cheered wildly for a moment, but quickly forced themselves to calm down. The next problem was how to move the supplies out.
They could climb in through the vents, but they couldn't climb out through them with the boxes.
Unlike them, Qiu Tong was not optimistic. She was tense all over, afraid that the mutated animals might suddenly appear from nowhere.
Although she appeared calm, she was actually constantly on guard against the emergence of mutated animals.
Strange, why didn't those mutated animals appear?
Qiu Tong wondered to herself, but no one could answer her question.
In her previous life, after Yu Fang and her companions climbed down from the ventilation shaft, they were attacked by mutated animals. During their fight with the mutated animals, they overturned many boxes of supplies, and Yu Fang realized that all the boxes were filled with supplies.
But something went wrong this time, and we still haven't seen any mutated animals.
Soon, Quan Hongfang stepped forward to take on the task of moving the supplies. She immediately revealed her spatial abilities, and amidst everyone's admiring gazes, she stored box after box of supplies into her space.
However, she misjudged the amount of supplies. Her space was almost full, and more than half of the boxes in the warehouse could not be moved.
At this moment, several roars of beasts came from afar, along the corridor of the warehouse. Qiu Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the mutated animals had finally appeared.
